>>hi
>>sorry i haven't been writing. things are a bit calmer, but we are in
>>the waiting stage of everything now. curtis was able to find a
>>cardiologist that
>>would take his insurance wednesday. The dr. examined him and agreed
>>that he will need surgery, but he wants to do all the tests over again
>>to see exactly
>>what needs to be done. curtis will have a test monday and another test
>>wednesday of next week. not sure how fast they will move after that.
>>his dr does feel more than likely, he will have to undergo open heart
>>surgery and will more than likely have to have valve replacement.
>>pray with us that god gives us and dr. and all others involved the
>>propper plan of action. pray that curtis will not get any worse. as of
>>now, his heart
>>i think is only at a 45 percent capacity. he is very tired, has
>>breathing issues, doesn't really want to eat, stays cold all the time.
>>his blood circulation
>>is very poor because of his valve not pumping correctly. i believe they
>>said that his mitro valve is regorgitating which means something like
>>the blood
>>is being pushed into the lungs which fill up with blood/mucus.
>>pray for us as we still try to figure out the plans ahead. i would like
>>to be there with him as much as possible, especially for several days
>>after surgery.
>>we need to line up babysitters etc.
>>pray for th e kids also as we try to finish up schooling and get the
>>test maybe out of the way. we don't know how much time we have before
>>curtis goes
>>to the hospital.
>>pray for the surgery to go exceedingly well and recovery to be a lot
>>faster and easier than expected. pray that the heart/valve is not too
>>damaged. he
>>has had 2 other open heart surgeries, 7 stints put in, and about 7 or so
>>heart attacks already!!!! his heart has been through quite a beating!!!!
>>also, pray that the dr will be very careful during surgery since
>>curtis's lung is still exposed from the last open heart surgery. the
>>last surgeon didn't
>>put the lung completely back. the lung is not under all the tissues etc
>>it is supposed to be under.
>>thanks.

>>In all we do, we do for God and in all He has, He gives to us!!!
